We are concluding the Species-rich Meadows project

We are pleased to announce that we participated in the project  Species-rich Meadows - Vrstno pestri travniki, which was aimed at restoring meadow surfaces, improving species diversity, and supporting pollinators and other key organisms in agricultural landscapes.

As project partners we participated in:
1. Advising on better implementation of sustainable practices on meadow surfaces. 
2. Organizing events and workshops aimed at disseminating results and knowledge among farmers and the wider public. This has enabled good practices to reach as many users.

Overall project results

1. We tested innovative methods (short-term cattle grazing, mosaic mowing, manual removal of invasive plants), and developed guidelines for sustainable meadow management.
2. The project contributed to improved pollination, seed dispersal, and greater resilience of ecosystems to climate change.
3. Through workshops, lectures, and publications we spread knowledge and good practices among professionals, farmers, and the wider public.

Why is the project important?

Species-rich meadows are essential for maintaining biodiversity, pollination, and the stability of agricultural ecosystems. We are glad to have contributed to the successful dissemination of results and raising awareness about the importance of sustainable management of these valuable habitats.
